With their heads in the cloud screaming
Must catch the bandit
Reckless abandon
Rundown and stranded"

we used to listen to this song driving to Switzerland and Italy with my parents and brothers. In a time without internet and mobile phones, can you imagine? thanks for sharing

"For everyone in the forum, including myself"

Got any Bartok recs? I always have trouble getting into him; his music feels very rigid to me. Granted Ravel is possibly my favorite classical composer, so I know it's just a different aesthetic.

Early Bartók, before the mid-1920s, more romantic (not my favorite of his).

Check out this article for a pretty good survey of his works (I'm by no means an expert on this Maestro ...)

Hope that helps. And share your pick/s.

I'd just like to say thank you for contributing to this thread and not the other (vastly more pretentious) thread 'deep songs'.

Lol, no problem. :grin:

@180 Proof

Not bad:



Still not bowled over yet though.

Like goulash, Bartók can be an acquired taste. :yum:

I will persist! I have friends who I respect who love Bartok.

Thinking about Daunte Wright



Now, who's the real thugs, killers and gangsters?
Set the revolution, let the things bust and thank us
When the smoke clear, you can see the sky again
There will be the chopped off heads of Leviathan

My friend, they call 'em strangers
Anybody talk to him end up in some danger
"They'll never change...
They stay...
Strange ways..."
Can't reform 'em

Ditto ... and the next one and the next ... :angry:

Something must be done
About vengeance,
a badge
and a gun

[ ... ]

Mind of a revolutionary,
so clear the lane
The finger to the land of the chains
WHAT?!
The "land of the free?"
Whoever told you that is your enemy!
Now something must be done
About vengeance,
a badge
and a gun

Now action must be taken
We don't need the key,
we'll BREAK IN!!!

Yes, I know my enemies!
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me! — Know Your Enemy (RatM)
